Strawberries Cream Fudge Delight (Printable)

Creamy white chocolate fudge with bright strawberry swirls and a cream-cheese marble, chilled into squares.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fudge Base

01 - 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
02 - 10.5 oz white chocolate, chopped
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Strawberry Layer

05 - 3.5 oz fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
06 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
07 - 2 teaspoons lemon juice

→ Cream Swirl

08 - 2 oz cream cheese, softened
09 - 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
10 - 1 tablespoon heavy cream

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
02 - In a small saucepan, combine the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool completely.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
04 - Stir the pure vanilla extract into the melted fudge mixture until evenly incorporated.
05 - Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface into an even layer.
06 - In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream using a whisk or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
07 - Spoon small dollops of the cooled strawberry compote and cream cheese mixture over the fudge layer. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the toppings through the fudge, creating a marbled pattern.
08 - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm and set.
09 - Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 even squares and serve chilled.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No candy thermometer required, which means you can make this without any fancy equipment or stress.
  • The marbled swirl looks incredibly impressive but takes almost zero artistic skill to pull off.
02 -
  • The strawberry layer must be completely cool before you swirl it, otherwise it will melt right into the fudge base and you will lose the marbled look entirely.
  • Microwaving in short intervals is non negotiable because white chocolate scorches easily and once it seizes there is no saving it.
03 -
  • Let the cream cheese sit out for at least thirty minutes so it blends smoothly without leaving stubborn lumps in your swirl.
  • A light coating of nonstick spray on the parchment paper guarantees the fudge releases perfectly every single time.
